Attributive Adjectives in English
An adjective is said to be attributive (predicative adjectives) when it is just before the noun.
Example of a non-attributive adjective: This house is big. (This house is big).
In this case, the adjective “big”(Large) is found in the predicate, after the verb. Therefore, it is not an attributive adjective. In other words, the attributive function is opposed to the predicative function.
Example of an attributive adjective: This is a big house. (This is a great house).
It is important to note that what is called in Spanish "attributive verb" is the opposite in English. In Spanish, attributive verbs are those that are linked to the noun by a copulative verb, that is, they belong to the predicate.
